Mr. Speaker, as the Minister of Industry has made very clear today and on previous occasions, his position is exactly that of the Prime Minister and the government. That position is very clear too. That position is that we will have full consultation with provinces, with territories, with interest groups and with industry that might be affected. At the same time we will have a plan put together that does not penalize or disadvantage any region of the country.
When we have had that debate and discussion, then the government will be in a position to make up its mind on the question of ratification.
